Le plus vieux m\u00e9tier<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memphis, Tennessee<\/strong>
Lundi 22 septembre 1980, 18h30<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il n\u2019y a pas grand monde dans les rues de Memphis ce lundi soir. Je me dis que c\u2019est une chance, \u00e7a me laissera peut-\u00eatre plus de loisir de pr\u00e9senter ma candidature aux patrons de bars. Nous d\u00e9butons par Beale Street. Le r\u00e9ceptionniste de l\u2019h\u00f4tel nous a confirm\u00e9 que c\u2019\u00e9tait la rue o\u00f9 se concentraient les bars et restaurants qui accueillent les musiciens de passage. Nous nous retrouvons tr\u00e8s vite dans Entertainment District<\/em>. Le blues est pr\u00e9sent partout. J\u2019entre dans les premiers \u00e9tablissements du secteur, sans succ\u00e8s. Becky est sur mes talents, mais je vois bien qu\u2019elle fait la gueule. L\u2019endroit ne semble pas l\u2019int\u00e9resser, je croyais pourtant qu\u2019elle cherchait \u00e0 travailler dans le monde du spectacle. En m\u00eame temps, les bo\u00eetes de blues, c\u2019est pas trop le genre \u00e0 recruter des chanteuses blondes. Ici, c\u2019est plut\u00f4t le domaine des afro-am\u00e9ricains. Je tente ma chance dans un steak house. L\u2019\u00e9tablissement est tenu par une femme, qui ne doit pas \u00eatre beaucoup plus \u00e2g\u00e9e que moi. Mon exp\u00e9rience l\u2019int\u00e9resse et elle me propose de travailler les fins de semaine, du jeudi soir au dimanche. Le salaire est correct, je lui donne un accord de principe. En \u00e9tant \u00e9conomes, nous pourrons tenir jusque l\u00e0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je termine ma conversation et je me rends compte que Becky n\u2019est plus \u00e0 mes c\u00f4t\u00e9s. J\u2019interroge la jeune femme qui travaille dans la salle et elle me r\u00e9pond qu\u2019elle l\u2019a vue sortir quelques instants plus t\u00f4t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je me pr\u00e9cipite sur le trottoir. Je regarde des deux c\u00f4t\u00e9s, pas de Becky en vue. Je continue la rue sur deux blocs, sans succ\u00e8s. Elle m\u2019a sans doute d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9ment fauss\u00e9 compagnie. Je renonce \u00e0 la chercher. Elle saura bien retrouver notre h\u00f4tel toute seule. J\u2019ach\u00e8te un peu de nourriture \u00e0 emporter et je retourne vers notre h\u00e9bergement. Lorsque j\u2019arrive \u00e0 la r\u00e9ception, la cl\u00e9 est toujours sur le tableau. Becky n\u2019est pas rentr\u00e9e. Il est presque onze heures quand elle se manifeste enfin. Je l\u2019interroge sur sa fugue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Je n\u2019allais pas te suivre toute la soir\u00e9e dans les bars et les restos, je n\u2019ai pas envie de travailler l\u00e0-dedans. Je sais comment gagner de l\u2019argent plus vite et sans me fatiguer. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elle me tend deux billets de vingt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Tiens, prend \u00e7\u00e0 pour payer ma part de la chambre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 D\u2019o\u00f9 sors-tu cet argent, demand\u00e9-je.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Je l\u2019ai gagn\u00e9, me dit-elle cr\u00e2nement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Je peux te demander comment ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Dans les toilettes d\u2019un bar ! C\u2019est pas difficile. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mes craintes se r\u00e9v\u00e8lent justifi\u00e9es. Sa garde-robe, son copain arm\u00e9, ce n\u2019est pas sa famille qu\u2019elle cherche \u00e0 fuir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Tu veux dire que tu t\u2019es prostitu\u00e9e pour gagner ces quarante dollars ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Non, il y avait plus, mais j\u2019en ai gard\u00e9 une partie. Je t\u2019ai donn\u00e9 la moiti\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Tu as fait \u00e7a comme \u00e7a, sans que personne ne te remarque ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 C\u2019est facile, mais il faut changer d\u2019endroit r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement, sinon les employ\u00e9s te rep\u00e8rent. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elle semble avoir d\u00e9j\u00e0 une belle exp\u00e9rience. Je commence \u00e0 regretter de m\u2019\u00eatre laiss\u00e9e prendre \u00e0 son petit jeu, mais apr\u00e8s tout, elle nous rapporte de quoi tenir quelques jours de plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Tu aurais tout de m\u00eame pu me pr\u00e9venir au lieu de dispara\u00eetre, je t\u2019ai cherch\u00e9e un moment dans Beale Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Ne te fais pas de soucis pour moi, je sais me d\u00e9brouiller. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En effet, j\u2019en prends conscience, en quatre heure elle a gagn\u00e9 autant que moi en deux jours chez Billy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab \u00c9coute, dis-je, je ne suis pas ta m\u00e8re, ni m\u00eame ta s\u0153ur, je n\u2019ai pas de le\u00e7on \u00e0 te donner, mais ce n\u2019est pas vraiment une fa\u00e7on correcte de gagner sa vie. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En disant ces mots, je repense \u00e0 ce que j\u2019ai fait il y a \u00e0 peine trois jours, pour payer mon essence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Non, tu as raison, ici je suis majeure. Je peux faire ce que je veux sans demander \u00e0 personne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Tu sais quand m\u00eame que c\u2019est ill\u00e9gal ? Si la police t\u2019arr\u00eate, tu risques de passer un mauvais moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Ce ne sera pas la premi\u00e8re fois ! \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
